Excerpt Suggestions (Beta)

The Excerpt Suggestions (Beta) is an opt-in AI-powered feature of the Parse.ly Content Helper exclusive to the WPVIP Platform. The feature is designed to optimize the editorial workflow. This feature provides quick and intelligent excerpt suggestions for posts and pages that can improve search engine optimization (SEO) and audience engagement.

Limitations

The Parse.ly Excerpt Suggestions feature will override the Jetpack’s post excerpt generation feature on a site where Parse.ly Content Helper is enabled.

Access

The Excerpt Suggestions feature is not accessible until it has been activated for a site. Complete the form to request access and a Parse.ly team member will confirm when the feature has been activated.

Once activated, the Excerpt Suggestions feature can be utilized in the WordPress block editor view of a post or a page.

For new activations, only users with an Administrator role have access to the Excerpt Suggestions feature. Administrators can manage access for all other user roles within the Parse.ly Settings panel.

1. Log in to the WordPress Admin dashboard.
2. Select Settings from sidebar menu.
3. Select the Parse.ly subnavigation menu item.

Generate an excerpt for a post or page

Only a logged-in WordPress user with the capability to edit posts can access the Excerpt Suggestions feature while working on a post or a page in the WordPress block editor. While editing a post or a page that has existing content:

1. Select the icon labeled “Settings” in the upper right corner of the WordPress editor window to display the settings panel.
2. Select the tab labeled “Page“.
3. Scroll down through the panel and locate the component labeled “Excerpt“.
4. Select the button labeled “Generate Excerpt“.

The AI-generated content in the “Excerpt” field can be manually updated by the user at any time.
